An eighteeen runner selling handicap is not the best betting medium but Hits Only Cash appears to have very strong claims and he can beat Sprinkle and Red Vixen. Jeff Pearce's four-year-old drops into a seller for the first time following some very good efforts in better company. He also ran well here back in May when second to Balikiref which should stand him in good stead. Sprinkle also drops into this company for the first time after finishing a creditable fourth behind Inka Dancer last time. He is quite lightly raced compared with most of these and so there is scope for improvement. Red Vixen would be the one to be on if the ground dries out as she is now down to a very favourable mark. But with the likelihood of soft conditions Hits Only Cash has to be the choice.
